Fell on my butt.

The title says it all. Today, while walking home from class, I slipped and fell on my butt. And the most surprising thing, is that I think no one saw... well that's the second most surprising thing. The actual most surprising thing is that it took me 23 days of living in Finland until I actually fell on my butt. It's quite common here, especially if your boots have no grip. Anyway, I walked away laughing and for some strange reason, felt the need to tell this to this internet.

I made some friends in class today! One is named Donna and she's from Louisiana. The other is named Rabia and she's from Turkey but she's leaving for Curacao next week so she might be gone a few months. Her husband is being sent there for a job for 10 months. Donna and Rabia used to do a salsa class together but now that Rabia is leaving, Donna doesn't want to do it alone. I suggested going with her because it's not too expensive and I actually really wanted to try dancing somewhere. So I'll see how that goes. I think we missed the sign up deadline but the teacher used to attend our language school so maybe some strings can be pulled.

I FINALLY finished reviewing [most] of the material for the GMAT and now it's just down to a million practice questions before starting the full-length practices... which is gonna suck, as each exam lasts about 4 hours. I'm looking forward to noon on February 17th.

Anne and I made some AMAZING [and by we, I mean Anne] food this weekend! I was too full to each as much as I actually wanted to consume [all in sight]. But I am planning on making it again soon...
The food I've been making for myself lately include [this is more for my mom haha <3.]:
- Fried rice
- Tacos! [baha.]
- Tomato Salad
- Stuffed Peppers
- Cookies!
- Pasta with pesto and feta [an old classic]
...
It doesn't seem like much yet but I'm trying to find some things that are easy to make and will bring variety to my meals.

Meanwhile, I've put my drawing on the back burner for now. Gah! Between Finnish classes every day or twice a day [I have 7 classes every Mon-Fri] and GMAT studying and coffee dates, my robotic cow has been neglected.
I'll post pictures once they're ready/post-able.
